<< WRITTEN INSPIRATION SUMMER CONTEST>>

For this contest, you are going to choose a short story (SEE STORIES BELOW), and draw a picture portraying the scene. The whole scene doesn't have to be drawn out, and you can just do one image in particular that stands out to you. Really, it's just a "Draw what this story inspires you to draw" type of deal.

Winner Will Be Chosen Based Off Of: Is the emotion of the setting shown?, are the emotions of the characters shown?, did you interpret the story into a picture or draw something completely off base?, and how complete is the work? Skill level will be taken into account, but I understand that not everyone is freakishly talented. If you give it your best, and your picture portrays the story better than someone who has a higher skill level, you will be taken into higher consideration.

I'll be the only one judging, but I'll be getting y'alls opinions in a few polls

You'll earn a feature on my main page for 3 days along side the winners of the challenge, as well as a special shout out when the winners are announced. (so basically you win face time XD)

TO THOSE DONATING ART PRIZES

It is YOUR job to contact the artist, and hold yourself accountable for giving them their prizes.

ALL OF THOSE PARTICIPATING WILL BE FEATURED IN THIS JOURNAL AS TIME GOES ON.

RULES

- Artwork must be NEW. Meaning you cannot submit anything that is currently in your gallery to be judged.

- This is a "hold yourself accountable" contest. Sorry, but no extensions. All artwork will be due by 11:59pm E.S.T., September 27th, 2013.

- Artwork must be COMPLETELY ORIGINAL. Referencing stock photos is perfectly acceptable, but referencing other people's artwork or cartoons for poses/setting, isn't allowed. If you use stock images, please follow the proper rules on the stock person's page . Also, bases, tracings, and templates are not allowed to be used.

- Photographs, cosplays, written work, photomanipulations, or any other art form besides digital and traditional drawings are not going to be accepted. There will be a contest in the future for any art form, but for now, this is just to see y'alls drawing/painting abilities!

- Judging will not be based off of skill level alone, but on how well you portrayed the scene/characters.

- You can do one picture per story, but I'd like for you to really take the time and effort into whichever story speaks the loudest to you. Remember, it's not, who can submit the most, or the fastest. The more completed and thought out the work, the better chance I am to pick it.
